Anyone know if neoprene wraps are available in the corny keg and slim 1/4 keg sizes. Just added a tall 1/4 keg to my keezer and would like to occasionally be able to take it out for a party.

Last year I converted an Oster (Model OR5005M3M) fridge into a kegarator and it worked great for a year. About a month ago it just stopped working. My uncle who has always done some side appliance work has been taking a look at it, but due to limited wiring schematics and resources is at an...
